DUBAI: Jordan has referred cases related to funds collected by the now banned Muslim Brotherhood group to the state prosecutor, the Jordan News Agency (Petra) reported Monday.
“The State Security Court prosecutor has decided to refer some fundraising cases involving the banned Muslim Brotherhood to the public prosecutor in Amman,” an informed official source told Petra.
Some 10 individuals were detained in relation to the fundraising cases involving the banned group, and are pending investigation.
The source explained that the 10 detainees are in correctional and rehabilitation centers, while two other individuals are currently under investigation. One of them is abroad and has not appeared before the public prosecutor, while the second was released on bail.
The individuals are accused of taking part in illegal activities, managing a financial network whose sources come from collecting funds in an unlawful manner.
The statement said the collected funds were spent on the activities of the banned group and that only one percent was sent to relief agencies.
